There's talk that Grundy will be brought back (possibly at McDonald's expense). Their midfield can definitely match it with ours. They were IMO the better team for 3q against the Pies. Their forward line is a real issue. Access All Areas showed a graphic of the last 3 finals the Demons have played : in total in those games, they are +41 I50's, +58 contested possessions, +13 clearances, +17 shots on goal, and -42 on the scoreboard. They will be a very tough opponent, and we wil be hoping their goal kicking woes continue, because everything else appears to be in very good order.
I think that Vossy would be pleased at the prospect of Melbourne naming Grundy. He was marginally better than a witch's hat last time we beat them.
Ben Brown is far more likely to get a recall and he's not much of a threat.
